What I've learned Lately

Weekly Wanderings 14

Spring is turning to summer much too quickly. I’m currently on day 20 of my 100 Days of Joy Challenge and so far it’s been great. I think it helps to remind me of what I have to be grateful for and helps to gather and organize my thoughts.

I’m really looking forward to a good three day weekend. Memorial Day always comes along with American classics like hot dogs and hamburgers. I’ve been trying to eat less red meat recently. But of course, I end up looking up more meat recipes in some silent rebellion.

I found this really educational video on how to butcher a half steer. Knowing the different cuts and preparations for every part of the cow is a really handy thing.

I also began listening to 32 Yolks by Eric Ripert. It’s an auto-biography of a young man on his journey to becoming a chef. I’m only on chapter 4, but so far it’s been really good. The author has a strong voice and is heartrendingly honest. I definitely recommend a listen.
